Toilet chip repair for Burnage homes

Toilet chip repair in Burnage, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right, on vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Burnage and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Burnage

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace in Burnage?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Burnage get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Burnage questions

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
